Graphic circuit simulator -- Figure out if your atty/carto is the right resistance!!

[MonsterTKE]

Hey guys first post, I figured I would try to contribute something useful. Hopefully this will eliminate some confusion
about voltages, wattage and atomizer/cartomizer resistance.

Here is a link to a simple circuit I built in Circuit Simulator 1.5.
It has 11 voltages and 11 resistances simulated as well as the ocilliscope views for each. Fully editable, just right click and choose edit, you
can insert whatever variables you want.

If you close one of the switches on the left it will power up the entire array of "atomizers" then you can hover over the ocilloscope views at the bottom to find
wattage and amperage. I think most switches are limited to about 2 amps

No more guessing how hot a carto will run!!

Link!! (java applet)


Edit* Youll probably have to resize the window it opens in

Great tool thank you

Heh, thanks. I thought it would have gotten more of a response, It really helps to visualize any kind of electrical circuit.

For instance, provari users I think are limited to 2.5 A at the switch, if you hover over the graphs at the bottom its really easy to see that a 2 ohm cart at 5 volts is really pushing the limit there, and anything less than 2 ohms is definitely over the limit.

Thanks for the info! Very helpful!!

Very nicely done, now if you can make the same for Dual coils, that would show the amperage, watts and voltages for each "coil" resistor and the totals of the amps and watts for the circuit.

Many vapers don't realize that the amps and watts are split on a dual coil carto, so each coil only has half the heat... 18 watts on a DCT is only 9 watts on each coil, around my sweet spot!!

Welcome to ECF !!!

could be that those that need the app to figure it out, aren't understanding the graphs very well either...
those that understand the graphs, are doing the math in their heads.....

Isn't a Provari limited to 3.5 amps? The Lavatube version 1 is limited to 2.5 amps. On the Provri, the switch doesn't receive the full amperage of the circuit, from what I understand. Same with the later ver2 Lavatube, which is limited to 4amps.

Like stosh said, the biggest confusion is Dual coils. Everyone thinks they're so great with a 3.7V battery, not realizing they're just running two coils at a cold 4.6 watts each.

Bingo. That would be my guess.

Sure It can do that, I have simulated Integrated circuits with it. If Im not mistaken Dual coils are in parallel correct?

Your probably right, though some probably has to do with it being in the new section of the forum, this is info new users may or may not even know they need to be concerned with yet?

As far as doing the math in your head, I actually went to this tool when I got myself confused by what the coils were actually doing.

Well, this old lady doesn't do math in her head very well I don't even need this yet, but I've bookmarked this page in case I ever do get brave enough to venture into buying a vv. So thanks for the tool to make it easier.

You have just earned over 9000 kudos from me. I love your simulator! This is a very useful tool for those learning about variable voltages and resistance needs.

correct, the 2 ohm dual I use are actually 4 ohm coils in parallel so if you have the amps, 6-7v work very well..

To be fair, its not my tool, but it was the first thing I grabbed when I started reading about different resistances and voltage mods.
